Accessibility in the Territorial Agenda 2020 Territorial Priorities 1) Polycentric and balanced territorial development • Avoid polarisation 2) Integrated development • Rural, peripheral and sparsely populated territories may need to enhance their accessibility • Improve accessibility of urban centres from rural areas • Ensure necessary availability of job opportunities and services of general interest 4) Global competitiveness • Integration of local endowment into global economy
Accessibility in the Territorial Agenda 2020 Territorial Priorities (cont.) 5) Improving territorial connectivity • Fair and affordable accessibility to services of general interest are essential for territorial cohesion • Secure access to road, rail, water and air transport • TEN-T • Linking primary and secondary networks • Encourage accessibility of urban centres in peripheries
Accessibility • main 'product' of a transport system for spatial development • determines the locational advantage of an area (i.e. in ESPON a region, a city or a corridor) relative to all areas • indicators of accessibility measure the benefits households and firms in an area enjoy from the existence and use of the transport infrastructure relevant for their area.
